Incremental Attribute Learning (IAL) is a feasible approach for solving high-dimensional pattern recognition problems. It gradually trains features one by one. Previous research indicated that supervised machine learning with input attribute ordering can improve classification results. Moreover, input space partitioning can also effectively reduce the interference among features. This study pro...

This pattern addresses the learning process that you have to master as a student. On the first level, you acquire and reproduce knowledge. On the second level, you apply knowledge to solve problems. On the third level, you produce new knowledge. Most teachers are happy if their students can reproduce the knowledge. Industry is happy if problems can be solved, and academia lives from the newly g...

As the complexity of VLSI circuits is increasing at the rate predicted by Moore's law and the switching frequencies are approaching a gigahertz, testing cost is becoming an important factor in the overall IC manufacturing cost. Testing cost is incurred by test pattern generation and test application processes. In this dissertation, we address both of these factors contributing to the testing co...

OBJECTIVE The study of utilization patterns can quantify potential overuse of laboratory tests and find new ways to reduce healthcare costs. We demonstrate the use of distributional analytics for comparing electronic health record (EHR) laboratory test orders across time to diagnose and quantify overutilization. MATERIALS AND METHODS We looked at hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) testing across 119,000 ...

introduction: studying long-term trend changes of meteorological parameters is one of the routine methods in atmospheric studies, especially in the climate change subject. among the meteorological parameters, temperature is always considered as one of the most atmospheric elements and studying it in order to gain a better understanding of the climate change phenomenon, has been effective. in ad...

A new on-chip embedding mechanism to improve fault coverage in scan-based delay test is proposed. A major problem of scan-based delay test techniques is that they may not provide good fault coverage as many valid test pattern pairs cannot be launched. In the proposed method, the initialization vector is shifted into the scan chain, and then the activation vector is generated by selectively inve...

in this paper a guided tabu search (gts) is utilized for optimal nodal ordering of finite element models (fems) leading to small profile for the stiffness matrices of the models. the search strategy is accelerated and a graph-theoretical approach is used as guidance. the method is evaluated by minimization of graph matrices pattern equivalent to stiffness matrices of finite element models. comp...

The requirements for a clinical biochemistry test request form are reviewed. The interaction between the configuration of the main analysers and the number of individual tests, or profiles, that are ordered using different request form formats were monitored for three-month periods over a three-year period while the main analysers were being "reconfigured" or replaced. Although there was a sign...

Recent experimental and theoretical studies suggest that crystallization and glass-like solidification are useful analogies for understanding cell ordering in confluent biological tissues. It remains unexplored how cellular ordering contributes to pattern formation during morphogenesis. With a computational model we show that a system of elongated, cohering biological cells can get dynamically ...
